Re: Stagecoach Yorkshire 20/02

More systamtic of the half arsed side saddled approach to this rebranding so far demonstrated by Stagecoach.
?
In one respect, if you are going for a unified rebranding then yes, you should repaint anything that you have decided that should be repainted into the new livery.
?
However, you should have changed the logos on all the buses, regardless of the livery.
?
The list of "expemptions" to the new livery grows by the day. Not only have they claimed that they are "simplyfying and strengthing the brand" by replacing one livery with three liveries . . . . there are numerous examples now where even this muddled approach won't be applied.
?
The promises to impove the digital offering (website, app etc . . . .) hasn't happened. Brian has constantly prattled on about the importance of a good website etc, but here we are, several years later and the other side of a corporate relauch and Stagecoach still have the worse website and app of any of the major bus companies in the UK.
?
The whole thing is just a complete mess and any self respecting marketing or brand specialist would be holding their head in their hands. Sadly, Stagecoach is falling further and further behind and this half arsed rebrand (created by someone who's same ideas were rejected by another group) sadly confirm this downward spiral.

Re: Stagecoach Yorkshire 20/02

 

You raise good points Paul.?

I didn't think time travel was possible but aparantly it is. When I looked at the Stagecoach corporate web site, I was instantly ported back to 1995!

The downward spiral also always appears to occur when a founder /Co founder of a business steps down. Its very rare things get better after that.?

Rebranding excersises are always quoted as costing millions, so as such couldn't they have skipped painting the older buses in the fleet? I appreciate things are done in a certain order but really, wouldn't a touch up have been better??

Maybe this is the enthusiast/photographer in me speaking too, but if the new livery, was just applied to brand new vehicles so the public know there is something different about it.... Beit WiFi, USB charging etc.?

Thanks for listening

UK02 DRM

 

The above Scania Omni noted earlier in Barnsley on schools service 479, which is operated by Hodgson (Hoggies). In white with a red skirt.

May be old news, apologies if so, but first time I've seen it. The vehicle was most recently 5209 UA with Connexions (Harrogate Coach Travel) I believe.

15690 for engine repairs.??

39102 had RTC damage and believe 39105 (and 39104 which is also off) are for yet more component failures to be fixed.

Re: First South Yorkshire

 

Apologies, the 3 loan E200MMCs are numbered in the opposite order - 44691 is YX20 OCE, 44692 is YX68 UKT and 44693 is YX18 KNM.

Stagecoach Yorkshire 26029

 

Rawmarsh depot 26029 (YX65 RBY) has become the 2nd E200MMC to be repainted in to the new Stagecoach livery - or what is now the new Stagecoach livery!

26029 has a revised paint application on the front, unlike 26026 (the first one to be painted) the front bumper on 26029 is blue (not orange) but the panel above the bumper where the Stagecoach logo is applied is white (not blue like on 26026).

Or to put it simply, 26029 has a blue front bar one area which is white. In my opinion it looks better than 26026 without the orange, but then again it would be hard to make something look worse...

The version as applied to 26029 is now the group 'standard' layout for the new livery and as such 26026 has returned to the paintshop at Chesterfield to have its front modified to match 26029.

Re: Stagecoach Yorkshire 20/02

 

Further to the below, Dart 35236 has returned to Barnsley depot resplendent in the new Stagecoach livery.

The error with the fleet numbers applied to 2 of the 3 on loan E200MMCs was corrected last weekend, with revised fleet numbers being applied to the vehicles:

YX20 OCE, which initially carried 44961 () is now numbered 44693 ().

YX18 KNM which initially?carried 44693 () is now 44691 ()

YX68 UKT remains as 44692.
